Rust

OEM Part Sourcing

Found a website/company called Amayama for sourcing genuine parts for many Japanese automakers and decided to give them a go ordering some stickers

So this came up – viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6260
And I thought I had to have it.

Picked it up last Saturday and drove it home on a trade plate.

History is Importer (Verban) to VIC, then back to SA, then to me – all years uncomplied, just like mine :)

Plan to comply and register ASAP (allowing for Civic rego to be used enough).
Then start back on other one with this one helping me find how it goes back together :D
Body is a bit rougher then my other one, also has slighty larger rust holes in the same area as other one had – but I shall ignore it till registered this time :P.

Big Block Baby

Finally found a engine, thanks to WallyWorld
I’d taken the original F5B apart and looked like it needed new bearings / rings which would have cost way too much.
